i did all the steps but when i went into the recovery mode i followed all the step i didnt see any mosaic 2 so i rebooted and now its dead :(

[MobileTechVideos]

@xaad86 I don't mean to call you out but this process works 100% with Mosaic 2 and nothing in this process would have caused a death other than a failed ODIN flash. Did you perhaps flash 3 button fix? That would brick it.

[xaad86]

@MobileTechVideos i followed all the steps although 3 button fix

[MobileTechVideos]

@xaad86 You should not have flashed 3 button fix after flashing GB bootloaders. It doesn't say that anywhere in this video. If that's what happened, you are hard bricked but I can still fix that. Just check out my i897 JTAG video.

wait so if i'm already on GR-12, and i wanted to install Serendipity 7, do i just copy the zip file onto root of sd card and just flash it with CWM?

[MobileTechVideos]

@NeonGlowification I always recommend flashing back to stock first.

[sunfirestorm0505]

So i followed to instruction from this video but now now mater what rom i run it always starts up with the i9000 screen. Any idea on how to fix this because even flashing stock doesn't get rid of it

[nafiptrr]

I love u <3 

[w1n5t0n4]

is this still up to date for flashing mosaic 8 ??? please say yes

[jurassic512]

You discredited your jig in your own video... you hold 2 buttons for Downloading mode correct? You have a jig for that. You hold 2 buttons for Recovery mode correct? You DON'T have a jig for that. So by your own words/video, the DL jig is a waste of money. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hello, could you do a video on how to install DLev 5.0 on the Samsung Captivate?

[lebjames2323]

does the phone have to be rooted again before trying to flash the bootloaders?

[afrodominicano23]

I just want to say thanks man! I had to restart my Captivate after I bricked it from a bad ROM and I just fixed it with this! Onto Cyanogenmod!! Imma buy a JIG now

[Nick0920]

Great vid. I just ordered a JIG! :) Quick question - if I wanted to just run stock Gingerbread, would I just stop after flashing the kernel? The point just before you went into Recovery and flashed Mosaic?

[dante04srt]

Will this work for flashing CM7 (or 7.1) as well or do we need to follow the directions in the other vid from March?

[TheCakeLady0726]

does this step by step process root your phone or do you need to do that step first?
